Pick up before leaving

Beached

This morning was a great morning to be walking in the surf. 72deg @ 7:00 am. It was a bit more difficult, avoiding the floating trash and debris. More than usual. We should all be considerate of each other and pick up after ourselves. I saw one surfer picking up arm fulls of junk before heading out into the surf. It wasn't the usual beer bottles and cans. It was water bottles and soda cans and food containers. Trash containers are everywhere, use them, please...

Nice post! I live on the beach and work closely with the Surfrider Foundation to help pick up trash and educate the public about what they can do to help. I can't tell you how many beach trips have been ruined because of the obligation I feel to pick up every bit of trash I see along the way. We've got an incredibly healthy beach and it's important we keep it that way.

Thanks Rhea. It is sad to see all the trash left over from people who don't care. I can see the occasional celebratory bottle forgotten and left behind , but the just leaving your crap on the beach for someone else to pick up is ridiculous!    Peace!
